Sharpening procedures
Step 1: Place sharpener on a flat, sturdy surface and plug in.
Step 2: Select a clean bit to be sharpened and match its size worth one of the holes in the
head.
Step 3: Put the bit into the appropriate hole and turn the unit on.
Step 4: Twist bit about 20 degrees from one side to another and exert a slight downward
pressure onto the bit.
Step 5: Turn unit off a about 5-10 seconds.
Step 6: Examine bit according to the “ Sharpening troubleshooting ” section below.
Step 7: Repeat the above steps to the other side of the bit. Sharpen both sides of bit the

Adjusting the grinding wheel
Step 1: Turn the ADJUSTING KNOB(#4A) to the right to raise the wheel. This wok give you a
more aggressive cutting action. This is also useful when you are working short bits.
Step 2: Lower the wheel by turning the ADJUSTING KNOB to the left. This is desirable when
you wish a finer ground edge, though it will take longer and require more repetitions.
